I am 6'3" and 295. I bought a NuCanoe Frontier 12 in 2013. I liked it so much I joined Team NuCanoe. Come to the Mariner Sails demo and I will be there and show you the Frontier and have one for you to demo.

6'5" 260lbs

As Dan90210 mentioned, I have a PA12 and love it.

My first kayak was a 10foot Lifetime Manta, and I still have it for friends and family. It has a 500lb capacity and is extremely stable (also very slow). It was a great value (purchased for $299 when Sports Authority was closing them out)

If I were to get my first kayak today, I'd take a good look at the Perception Striker.
I can guess that it will be very stable and also slow.




I really enjoyed experimenting with lots of DIY modifications with my first, cheap kayak.
It's a good way to learn from mistakes.

With the PA 12, the only modifications I've done are fish finder, bilateral anchor trolleys, and simple anchoring systems.
